Take off the bubble wrap, it’s time to play.
I’ve written a few first posts and find that joining a conversation is often easier than starting one. So let’s unwrap the new toy and get right down to business.
My name is Kendall Schoenrock and I’m a co-founder of LTLprints.com - Larger Than Life prints. Carsten Petzold fills out the founding team and I’ll point you to our bio page to see his awesome credentials.
What do we do?
We make huge customizable prints, delivered to your door. Oversized cutouts of any image, picture, or person you choose. Printed on a self-adhesive cloth material that sticks to any flat surface without leaving a mark or residue. It’s the best way to decorate your world. Guaranteed.
Where are we?
We’re in Philly right next to LOVE park, but our prints can go anywhere and we like that. Speaking of love, we really enjoy what we’re doing. We’re excited to bring you an awesome product and we need your help. Our goal is to be accessible - for example, if you call our phone number (1-800-672-6741) you can say my name and talk to me. Please do so. We are building this company around you and we can’t do it without you. Also, if you’re in the area let us know and I’ll buy you a beer - no joke, I’m not kidding on that one. Tuesday night is TechKaraoke - good times.
When will the site launch?
We are shooting for late October or early November 2008. We’ll keep you posted. It’s going to be big. Larger than life, actually. Technically we have already launched a scaled down version at LTLprints.net. Check it out!
Why are we here?
We’re here because you deserve to have the freedom to decorate your world how you want it. Your prints should display only what you want them to, and should express your style or memories. Your business should be able to take their images with them to any expo or conference, sticking to any whiteboard or wall in sight. Moving and redecorating shouldn’t suck, especially when it comes to your decor. Our goal is to save you time and money and give you a totally unique product that you can brag to all of your friends about. Did I mention that we’re perfect for viral marketing? Hint Hint
How?
For now, check out our *temporary* site at LTLprints.net - upload a picture, answer a few quick customizable questions and submit. Give us a few days and we’ll ship your custom print right to your door. Peel it off and apply it to your wall. You’ll be like a little kid again unwrapping that perfect birthday gift. And if you’re not happy with your first placement - move it. It won’t tear, leave a mark, or give you any trouble. I promise.
So that’s about it for my first intro post. How’d I do? Leave me a comment and lets get the conversation started off on the right foot.
Cheers,
Kendall Schoenrock

Great job guys on getting your blog going! I’ve seen your product and it really is that good. I’ve actually moved it between 10 places in my apartment so far because I show it to everyone who comes in — Even the fiancee (who is a non-techie) loves it. We’re going to order our “Save the Date” cards on it.
Anyway, figured I’d drop by and say, good luck!
P.S. - Tagging it TechKaraoke is awesome!

Really dig the prints. We’re looking forward to using them for future Convos events.
Keep it up and we’ll be sure to follow your progress on the blog!

Great news! I can’t wait to see what you guys are capable of. I’m looking forward to purchasing a life-sized poster of the fam for my wall at home

I demoed the Night Kitchen sign from the Indy Hall 1.0 Birthday Party to some Night Kitchen peeps by pulling it of the wall, crumpling it up and then putting it back - good as knew. The looks on their faces were priceless - also when they saw that the sticker type interface didn’t damage the wall, they were amazed! We are considering using it for smaller demo type shows where our full sized booth would be impractical.
Here’s looking forward to hearing Larger Than Life things from LTL Prints!

Kendall Schoenrock! So nice to see you behind yet another great idea. And, you know me, always looking to live large so, you can rest assure there will most definitely be some LTL prints coming my way soon enough.
Just in time for those crafty Christmas gift ideas, too… watch out ma’ and pa’, a large print out of me and the dogs might just have to find a spot over the fireplace this coming holiday season
Take care, Kendall, rock on, brother!
